Old man Crying

I heard a old man crying the other day.

I stopped and tried to make his day.

But he told me to go beyond



I saw that old man crying Again.

I tried to tell him to hold up his chin.

I asked him why do you grieve?



He would not tell me much of anything, 

Only that if I should be so lucky

To find a place in love with another,

To hold it above all other.



For if you don’t he uttered,

Forever will you weep.
